Guidelines

These pages provide guidelines for using and contributing to the MediaPortal Wiki.  They can be viewed only by Wiki users logged on using their MP Forum username.

Don't worry, the Docs Group will review all changes and additions.  It is very easy to revert to a previous revision.

You do not need to become an expert in our Wiki. You can simply add or update content.

Please be familiar with our Style Guide before adding or updating content. In particular:

NEVER:

• Add extra whitespace above or below elements ("empty lines") by inserting forced line breaks.
• Indent ("jump in") paragraphs - paragraph styles are formatted globally by templates
• Add horizontal rules ("lines")
• Format lines as headers by making the whole line bold or italic, instead of using the built-in header tags.
• Skip a header level because the next one looks better.

Generally, you should NOT format text very much. Do not alter:

• fonts (except for folder/filenames in Courier new)
• font sizes (use Heading Tags)
• text colours (unless absolutely necessary)
• add text background colours
• indent text (other than in lists)

These styles will be set in templates so any change to the template style will require manual editing of all your formatting. 

You may, and should, use:

• Headings for sections
• bulleted or numbered lists (never number lists manually)
• Bold and Italics correctly (see Style Guide)
